The latest update is out from Syntara Limited ( (AU:SNT) ).

The Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney has secured a A$3 million grant from Australia’s Medical Research Future Fund to run two multicentre clinical studies in advanced pancreatic cancer, including a Phase I/II trial combining Syntara’s investigational LOX inhibitor amsulostat with standard chemotherapy. Under the collaboration, Syntara will provide the study drug and scientific and clinical support but will not contribute cash, allowing the company to expand into solid tumour research—building on preclinical data showing that targeting tumour fibrosis can improve chemotherapy penetration—while preserving its balance sheet and reinforcing its strategy of leveraging more than A$10 million in non-dilutive capital across four clinical programs. Recruitment for the pancreatic cancer trial is expected to begin in mid-2026 at major New South Wales cancer centres, incorporating precision medicine approaches such as deep molecular and genetic profiling to identify responsive patient subgroups and potentially inform broader application of anti-fibrotic strategies in other solid tumours, alongside Syntara’s already busy 2026 clinical agenda in iRBD, MDS and skin scarring.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SNT) stock is a Buy with a A$0.19 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Syntara Limited stock, see the AU:SNT Stock Forecast page.
